Meredith Grey and Robert Stark
Words: 283
Meredith was pissed. And not the usual kind of pissed like she was at her mother or Derek, but she was pissed on behalf of someone else. This time it was for Alex. For all intents and purposes, he was her brother. They had stuck together through thick and thin throughout the years, and now the new Peds attending was being a jackass. Meredith wasn't one to back down from confrontation, and people took it better from her than Alex. She could tell he was about to explode over this, so she decided to have a word with Stark on her own.
"Dr. Stark, can I have a word?" Meredith called down the hallway. He turned around and nodded, indicating for her to join him in the small break room off the to side of the hallway.
"What's on your mind Dr. Grey?" he asked, already bored with the conversation.
"You're an ass," she said simply. His face had a wave of shock cover it. "You do know that people always say that about you right? Well, you have the best Peds resident that the hospital has seen in quite some time on your service, and you treat him like dirt."
"Are you talking about Karev?"
"Yeah, just because he doesn't have the best attitude when it comes to normal people, he's awesome with kids."
"He's the ass."
"He's like my brother. Just give him a chance, and don't treat him like shit. He's been through enough shit lately."
"I'll think about it. But next time, don't call me an ass. You're banned from the OR for a week."
Meredith nodded sharply and left the room. Hopefully things would get better for Alex.
